We'll finally have a chance to disconnect from the workplace tonight at Happy Hour or catch a grimy metal show on Saturday night in Little Haiti. Whatever the case, we're free. And not to mention, it's pay day, and we've got a fat check burning a hole in our checking account.

But how can we stretch that cash to last three days? Easy. Just do things under $10.
